The Maastricht Journal is a unique peer refereed journal publishing six issues per year, serving academics and legal practitioners who want to stay informed regarding developments and challenges within the Ius Commune Europaeum.

The journal publishes articles, case notes, legal debates, legal developments and commentaries by leading academics and professionals in the areas of European and Comparative Law and covers areas of interest in both European Law and in the comparative laws of European states.

The historic expansion of the European Union highlights the growing importance of both European Law and the comparison and study of the individual domestic laws of the European states. This tendency has led to an increased Europeanization of the study of law. There is a growing need to examine the common legal tradition and heritage in Europe as well as the remaining diversity. Practitioners and academics both need an effective compass to navigate this complex and evolving landscape. For more than two decades, the Maastricht Journal has served as such a device, offering clear and comprehensive analysis of issues by leading authorities in the field and developing a loyal readership throughout Europe, North America and Asia.

The Editorial Committee and Advisory Board consist of specialists in all major areas of law. They guarantee a regular coverage of the following fields:

· European public law

· European private law

· European company and labour law

· Human rights and international law

· European criminal law

· European Community law

· Legal theory and European integration

· European environmental law

The Maastricht Journal consists of contributions from leading academics in the form of:

· Articles providing an in-depth analysis of either EU or international law, or studying a particular problem from a comparative approach, and considering the issues from the perspective of the Ius Commune Europaeum.

· Case Notes of important Union and national decisions of significance in a number of countries, placing the issues in a comparative perspective.

· Legal Developments illustrating and contextualizing important developments at the EU level, such as the introduction of new EU legislation and policy changes.

· Legal Debates encompassing pieces by various authors tackling new and thought-provoking legal problems from different perspectives.

· Commentaries of contributions previously published in the Maastricht Journal.
